I think this would be a helpful addition during evaluation of the draft, though
I won't insist on it.  I'm ambivalent on whether it's got enough value to include
in the final RFC, since much of it will presumably go out of date at some point.

Great, that addresses my concerns.

I support adoption, I think a standardized set of config and stats for TCP
would be very useful and could dramatically improve portability.

Thanks and regards,
Jake
